THE CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY Mi B i i H ii HM OMAHA. NEBRASKA 68131 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT My dear Students : I appreciate this opportunity to greet you at the conclusion of this interesting, exciting year. The evidence of growth is all around us. The faculty and student body reached record numbers; research increased 44% in a single year; special programs and institutes are multiplying; support from various agencies, corporations, founda- tions and individuals showed encouraging gains. On campus we are witnessing the construction of more than ten million dollars worth of academic and residential facilities. The impact of this exoenditure sinks home when we contemplate the fact that the cost of these buildings under construction matches the total cost of all buildings erected at Creighton during the past forty years. Growth causes some inconveniences and we are grateful to you for putting up with restricted views, muddy streets, lack of parking or other temporary difficulties. While these physical shortcomings may have distressed you momentarily, you should be comforted by the knowledge that no other student body in the history of Creighton was privileged to have a better faculty or a more competent group of fellow students. These educational assets are the prime consideration and it is these concepts we hope the graduates will take with them. The other needs will be met as long as we maintain a faculty of such high quality and a student body as receptive and able as that currently enrolled. Most of you will return to Creighton next year to continue your education. We look forward to seeing you again. Others will become alimmi, joining the nearly 20,000 men and women now holding that distinction. We hope that we shall see you, too, either at one of the many national club meetings or at activities which may bring you back to the campus. To students and graduates alike, may I say Thank You once again for making this a most pleasant year for me and may I extend to you a prayer for your safekeeping during these summer months and in the important years ahead. Sincerely yours. H. W. Linn, S.J. President 11
